RPMing Your Apps And Tools
summary
Shows how to turn an app into an actual RPM using rpm-build and a .spec file, hosts it with createrepo and a private yum repo, and wire updates into VCS so a git push triggers a webhook that builds and publishes RPMs. Demonstrates packaging a tiny utility (auto-bug-fix v1.0), using repoquery/yum/rpm to inspect files and yum history to trace 18 transactions and the initial 217-package install, and recommends rpmlint and signing; spec authoring is the tricky bit but the pipeline works.
